In honor of 24-Hour Comics Day, here’s an old photo of Ivy and me I just received, via my Aunt Pat, dating from around the period over 19 years ago, when the first 24-hour comic was drawn in our Somerville, Massachusetts apartment.

As mentioned last Tuesday, I’m just a bystander this year, but good luck to all those participating today. You’re about to scale the Mount Everest of comics. Don’t forget to breath!

I did it, and finished at two in the morning, NYC time. I live New Zealand so went from 7:28 Saturday to 7:28 Sunday, but finished my last page an hour deadline. This was my second 24 hour comic, but last time was earlier this year.

I posted the script and comic, both are a bit rough but it was a rewarding (and mind boggling) experience. Very interesting to see the play being performed at the end of it all and I had good company throughout.
